I have ws2008 (i think that the same trouble can take place on windows vista), it is joined to the domain.

I run following code:

DirectorySecurity ds = Directory.GetAccessControl( "c:\\windows\\ADAM" );
ds.AddAccessRule( new FileSystemAccessRule( "domainName\\user",
    FileSystemRights.Read | FileSystemRights.ListDirectory, AccessControlType.Allow ) );
Directory.SetAccessControl( configurationDirectory, ds );

I'm logged as domain administrator and I get following error: Attempted to perform unauthorized operation.

Some User should have access to *exe available in this directory. What can I do to achieve it?

COM Interop with Visual FoxPro has a number of problems but one of them at least got a lot… >>> More
Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
Finding a Relative Path in .NET

Here’s a nice and simple path utility that I’ve needed in a number of applications: I need to find a relative path based on a base path. So if I’m working in a folder called c:\temp\templates\ and I want to find a relative path for c:\temp\templates\subdir\test.txt I want to receive back subdir\test… >>> More
